ABSTRACT:
A tension latch, embodying an over-center latching principle, includes means for adjusting the latch tension in the fully closed and latched position. The adjustment means is readily accessible through a channel-like opening formed by the latch handle. The same portion of the latch handle contains a secondary locking mechanism which is laterally offset from the adjustment means and is activated from the side of the handle, thereby maintaining complete access for tension adjustment. The lateral mounting and action of the locking mechanism allows the low profile of the latch to be maintained.
